The distance from San Francisco to Los Angeles is approximately 385 miles. You and your friends decide to cycle from San Francisco to Los Angeles. If the distance between the cities is about 385 miles and your doctor tells you that you need to drink 1 L of water for every 1 km that you cycle, how many L of water will each cyclist need to drink on the journey? Enter your answer as a number using 3 significant figures without units. Do not enter the word “liters” as part of your answer. 1609 m = 1.0 mi

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g

the atomic number will stay the same no matter how many electrons it has, so it doesn’t decrease nor increase. it’ll only change with a different number of protons
